The baby gorilla at Jersey Zoo has been called Amari!

Four Swahili-inspired names were shortlisted for islanders to choose from, with more than 5,000 votes submitted since the Zoo revealed that the baby was female a couple of weeks ago.

The final results were:

* Amiri (strength) : 1,822

* Iniko (born during troubled times) : 1,638

* Muhuri (stamp, mum's name means envelope) : 1,113

* Kapuki (first-born daughter) : 587
